I rather resent the fact that you think I'm not heli friendly. The NEC's business is running exhibitions. Do you think for a minute that if they thought they could make money out of having a helicopter landing zome then presumably they would already have one.
At quite a lot of their shows it is a least £5 to park. In the space it takes to land a light helicopter you can probably park somewhere in the region of 10-15 cars probably more if you start thinking about the space required in case something goes wrong. Add to this they know nothing about aviation and they have an airport next door and I think you can start to see why perhaps they don't have helicopters land on their site.
Also if you checked the poeple that own the NEC are the pretty much the same people that own the airport.
I guess we may never agree on this particular matter.
As for do I own a helicopter the answer is no.
